[Q] What Custom ROM is best for my i747m... - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hello
I have the Canadian Rogers Samsung Galaxy S3 i747m with 32GB built in and I have a 32GB MicroSD Card.
The phone had Samsung's problematic Android 4.3 version... Then I tried the CyanogenMOD CM-11 M2 Android version 4.4.2 and CM-10.2.1 Android version 4.3.1
I was thinking of just using just going to CM-11 M3 Android version 4.4.2 as I posted all about here... Please read my link from the CyanogenMOD fourm... http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/89918-1021-for-s3-i747m-from-rogers/
But then I found on this forum the different Custom ROMs for the i747m phone that I have as shown here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att#romList
And I saw 2 youtube videos of the Hyperdrive ROM and I like all the features that it has and all the customizations you can do from it.
What I wanted to know is what Custom ROM will work best on my i747m and be most problem free and What Custom ROMs are still being worked on and updated regularly?
Also if you read my post on the CyanogenMOD forum you will see that I have CM-10.2.1 installed on my phone right now and I want to root my phone and my phone is locked to Rogers and I dont want to change that and I dont want to change my Baseband version either.
Please help me?
Thank you.

Also I want a Custom ROM that works with the MicroSD card... I dont care about App2SD support cause my phone is the 32GB version but I do want apps to be able to save directly to the memory card such as Camera apps saving pictures and videos directly to the SD card and being able to download files off the internet directly to the SD card and stuff like that.
Thanks again.

As XDA is not a support site, members are expected to do their own research and make there own determinations.
Please take the time to read and flash them to make the aforementioned judgments. Plenty out there to try!

Have you ever installed a 4.3 stock ROM on your phone? If not, you could flash a stock ROM from samfirmware.

[Q] Question about custom roms on the SM-N900T

Hello everyone, I have a new T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3 running stock 4.4.2. The phones been pretty good with the exception of TouchWiz. I HATE TouchWiz. To me it is a deal breaker. I much prefer the vanilla Android experience of my Galaxy Nexus. So I'd like to know if it would be possible for me to install something like CM11 or AOSP? Or should I just exchange my Note for Nexus 5? I apologize if this has been answered before, but as a newb I haven't been able to find a clear answer in searching and I really need an answer with only a couple of days left to exchange my phone.
To skip to the question,
Would it be possible for me to install a ROM like CM11 or AOSP onto my new T-Mobile Note 3 which has been updated to 4.4.2?

Yes, you can install CM11 easily, as long as you don't care about KNOX.
You just need to download your favorite recovery(I use TWRP 2.7), odin install it. Then download the latest version of whatever AOSP ROM you want, and make a backup of your current system in recovery, then format all(excluding internal and external SD), then flash the ROM.

I don't see any CM11 or other AOSP ROM's in the TMO Original Development subforum. My favorite AOSP ROM, SlimROM, only shows the "Hlte" Note 3 as being supported. Which I think is the International N3. Can we flash that on the TMO S3's?

Yes, ALL AOSP Rom's are "Unified" meaning that the HLTE version of their roms support our device, and other hlte versions(AT&T and so on).

Thanks. That's the way it is for the S4 also.
But on the AT&T S4 original development subforums, we actually have AOSP ROM threads. Where as I see none on the TMO Note 3 subforum. Kinda weird.

Note 2 t0lexx LTE Kitkat 4.4.2 (drains battery quickly) despite stopping some apps with Titanium still feel as though the rom has a lot of bloatware, network works along with wifi and bluetooth

How to install Adroid Kitkat on Samsung Galaxy J2 (SM-J200G)

A few day ago i am bought samsung galaxy j2.

Help me how to install android kitkat verson on this mobile with root or without root ?
and where is i download kitkat rom for my device ?
Help me please i am not satisfied with lollipop version
Assuming that your phone can every support custom ROM's, it will depend on the type of custom ROM you'd like of which there are tons of great ROM's out there. Your first goal is to research which ROM you want but read this all the way through before you start. While you do that, the ROM's you are considering need to have a KitKat Android version (it might be depreciated). After that, you need to make sure to find the right ROM that works for your phone model and then follow the instructions on installing the custom recovery. This custom recovery will be used to wipe and then flash the new ROM to the phone (NOTE: wiping will erase all your personal data and apps so back up your app data first and if you want to also backup your apps). The ROM may or may not have pre-installed apps, however it will not have any Google Apps (including the Play Store) which means you'll need to find the right package online that fits your phone processor and android version to flash with but after the custom ROM. Anyways hope this helps and good luck ?

CRdroid O/S works good on my old Samsung Galaxy S3 i747
I realize this is an old thread. But maybe there are others who still tinker around with this old (circa 2012) Samsung Galaxy S3 i747
While I am a newbie, I have enjoyed flashing Custom ROM's , from CyanogenMod, thru various versions of Lineage, and now CRdroid.
Totally free of Google; no Google Play Store, no Google Pay, no Google Framework, no Gapps, no Google spyware, no Google bloatware, no Google tracking etc.
I download all my apps as APK's which are readily available on the Net ( Google them . . . just kidding ).
My older Samsung S3 i747 was a 'd2att' originally locked to Rogers, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Then switched over to MTS (Manitoba Telephone System). Now running on Bell Canada. My replacement is also a Samsung S3 i747, originally running T-Mobile in Arizona, now running on Bell Canada.
Damn fine phones.

Lollipop? Circa 2014? Try using CrDroid 3.8.9 works great on my d2att (ie S3 i747) Based on Android 7.1.2 (I think). See link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-can-i747-m-compiled-by-alexenferman.4021787/
I came across a BootleggersRom port for the i9300, I may take a whack at porting it. Iirc, it should only need a updater-script change inside META-INF of the rom, and the metadata. Beyond that, I found an article about porting. I have ported an S7 rom before, so I'll do my best!
